Endodontic applications of guided tissue regeneration in endodontic surgery.
This paper is intended to provide an overview of different endodontic applications in guided tissue regeneration. It is our expectation that using these techniques, where applicable, will increase endodontic surgical success. We have described six different clinical conditions including external resorption, root perforation, dehiscence, palatal grooves, oblique root fractures, and large periapical lesions. We believe the use of guided tissue regeneration techniques will allow us to predictably treat teeth that otherwise might be extracted.
